Pure supposition. He's got all the markings of the new-money social stigma... coming from bad pedigree and romping with royals? That's not easy, particularly 30 years ago. He probably couldn't deal with it. Rebellion seems to have welcomed him as one of its own.

This means nothing & changes nothing other than to disagree with the idea that he hates the West for having been exposed to its evils, etc. etc. Seems to me he's a social runt who didn't have the balls to stick up for himself.

Too bad. I was hoping for more.

I read the situation completely differently. I don't think he comes from a bad pedigree. To the contrary. Nor can we make a direct comparison with the British.

Nor am I convinced he's estranged from his family. To the contrary again. I think his expulsion from Saudi Arabia was strictly political and there's a very good chance that their elite is playing a double game - critisizing him while secretly financing him.

Even worse, after reading his statements and those of Mullah Omar I find him to be possessed of a noble spirit. I know this is hard to accept but I'm sure he thinks his cause is as just and his actions as justified as we do ours.

In sum, unless I can find evidence to the contrary, I find him to be a very dangerous adversary. If we catch him quickly, we'll do ourselves a very great favor.
